Someone around here used to say:

"Build a man a fire and you warm him for a day; set a man on fire and you
warm him for the rest of his life."

I'd attribute it to the original author if I could remember who it was. I've
gotten a laugh from that every time I've used it.

I though the proverb was "Give a man a fish and you feed him for one
day. Teach
him how to fish, and he'll probably buy a bass boat and be unavailable
most weekends."
